galway were awesome, some great players. great running with the ball and always a man free. cavan had an off day but should hold their heads high, gave us a great day out. was brilliant to see the excitement in cavan, the traffic jams in virginia and at the toll bridges and up the navan road. hopefully there will be more days to come. wil 8 stil elligible next year and 7 elligible in 2 year, we can continue to hope. wishfulthinkin (Cavan) - Posts: 1735 - 01/05/2011 20:46:11 921710 Link 0 |

Well done festinog and the Spaniards comment was meant in good jest. I like Galway people, always got on well with them. Now ye wonder why ye all have dark complexions and dark curly hair in the West? Ye are all desecended from Galicians (North West Spain) who came to the West of Ireland over 500 years ago. Don't worry we REAL GENUINE IRISH in Ulster won't hold that against you, we'll let ye be Irish. Ulsterman (Antrim) - Posts: 9823 - 01/05/2011 21:20:02 921740 Link 0 |
The reason some refer to us a Spaniards festinog is because we're the Galwayacticos of gaelic football Maroonatic (Galway) - Posts: 1069 - 02/05/2011 11:28:12 921869 Link 0 |
Well said Festinog!! Made me laugh, although I will point out the trading links were far more widespread than the late 17th Century and most of Shop St/Augustine St is 15/16/17 century built in a Spanish style either by Spaniards themselves, or by Spanish influence. They are all stables and courtyards as you would see in North and East Spain of the period. abhainn (Galway) - Posts: 1000 - 02/05/2011 11:41:25 921882 Link 0 |

we can look to the future with real excitement; 7 of the starters are returning next year as well as 4 of the five subs, the entire panel will be returning 22 players for next year. blue1947 (Cavan) - Posts: 85 - 03/05/2011 08:08:10 922374 Link 0 |
Well done Galway, great team and a great performance. We never really got going but hopefully we can build on all the positives from this run to the AI final! Breffni40 (Cavan) - Posts: 12443 - 03/05/2011 10:54:21 922432 Link 0 |
I think Cavan got a bit ahead of themselves after winning Ulster with celebratory dinners, functions and widespread celebrations. They also still have too many players suffering from the Larry Reilly syndrome as in requiring a ball of their own.... thou shalt not pass to a colleague until you are totally bottled up, have run out of ideas or found yourself in a corner with nowhere to go.

I think you'll find that we had the all Ireland semis a couple of days after the tyrone match so no time for celebrations, sometimes you can create a reality to fit your perceptions of the truth big sacks ochonlir (Cavan) - Posts: 4343 - 03/05/2011 17:45:34 922880 Link 0 |
